Are you tired of just surviving? Are you ready to win?

How can I stop feeling so stressed? How can I change my life so that I’m not in a constant state of crisis? “We’re overworked, overloaded, and overwhelmed,” writes Crystal Paine. So what can we do to begin triumphing?

Slow down!

Stop the Negative Self-Talk – “I don’t measure up.” “I’m not good enough.” “I’m a failure.” “No one likes me.” These are all things I’ve allowed myself to believe in the past… and every single one of them is a lie. That’s a strong word, but when I began to recognize these things as lies, it started me on the path to being able to change the way I viewed myself. However, it’s not enough to just recognize the lies and refuse to believe them. You have to take it one step further and replace these lies with truth. It might sound silly or weird, but I actually make myself speak phrases of truth any time I start hearing lies swirling in my head. If I start to think, “I’m just not talented enough.” I immediately make myself say, “No, that’s a lie.” And then replace that lie with a truth. This simple act has revolutionized my thought life – and my entire life. It was a lot of work at first, but it has now become second nature to me to replace the lies with truth. Not only that, but I’ve realized that I’ve had a lot fewer lies swirling around in my head because I know and believe the truth in the core of my being.
